Polypane
Polypane is a cutting-edge web browser designed specifically for web software developers and website designers. It offers a comprehensive range of debugging tools, allowing users to test their cloud-powered creations with ease.
With this versatile browser, users can easily test website rendering on a wide range of mobile display sizes. It allows for the creation of numerous browsing viewports, from the smallest mobile screens to the largest 5K displays. Users can test rendering features, UI designs, accessibility features, and much more in real time.
With Polypane Browser, users can effortlessly divide the rendering pages into multiple viewpanes, each representing different mobile displays. This feature enables users to efficiently and accurately assess the resizing and UI rendering of their web designs. It also provides automatic syncing of scrolling and clicking across all active viewpanes. The syncing feature is incredibly robust, ensuring that hovers are replicated across all active viewpanes. Website themes, whether light or dark, can be easily examined in a fully synchronized side-by-side viewport rendering mode.
Using the Polypane browser extension, you have the ability to easily send any link or tab to Polypane. You can find the extension for Chrome.
Debugging CSS becomes effortless with the ability to debug individual panes using more than 40 CSS states. These states encompass various categories including Dev Tools, Simulators, Color Blindness, Visual Impairment, and Others. Furthermore, the app offers precise renditions of social media sharing cards for various platforms including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, and more.
With the app being built on the popular Chromium platform, experienced designers have the flexibility to install their preferred DevTools browser extensions (like React DevTools, Vue.js DevTools, Redux DevTools, Angular, and more) and framework add-ons (such as React, Vue, Svelte, Bootstrap, Bulma, Foundation, jQuery, and others).
There are numerous features that the Polypane browser supports, far beyond what has been mentioned here.
